At the lime of its adjournment yesterday the Senate had been in continuous session nearly twentynine hours. After & protracted debate, lasting all Wednesday night and until four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Senate tabled the resolution to seat P. B. S. Pincliback at Senator from Louisiana by a vote of 39 to 2i The House of Commons yesterday adopted a resolution moved by Disraeli declaring John Mitchell a convicted felon, and therefore not entitled to a seat in Parliament. A new election in the county of Tipperary was ordered. Bill Kino has materialised to a certain extent. lie has transmitted a message to .the Minnesota Legislature declaring that that honorable body has lied, and telling it to mind its own business, but whether this missive comes from Canada or the apirit world has not transpired. The extortionate local freight tariffs charged by the Union Pacific railway from Salt Lake eastward has caused ship pers at that point to send their freight to San Francisco to be there reshipped at competing through rates for New Yoik and Boston. There seems to be a loud call for a rival line of railway to the Pacific eoast. Tilton stepped down and out yester day. The next witness called was George A. Bell, and following him Joseph Bich ards, a brother of Mrs. Tilton, whose testimony was to the effect that having, on a certain occasion, unexpectedly called at the Tilton mansion he surprised his sister in Beecher's company in the parlor, and that Mrs. Tilton betrayed ber embarrassment by a flushed face and hasty mo tion. With this exception the testimony of the new witness was rather trivial and unimportant. The Madrid Government, like Peck' sniff's horse, is always going through the motions of doing something but never doing it, We now hear that it is about to send extensive reinforcements to Cuba, which is not new. The same thing was slatted some time ago, unci then, probably, as now, for effect on this side of the At lantic. The same sort of reports are con tinually made in regard to operations against the Carlists, who, if the cable die. patches may be believed, are crushed or about to be crushed every twentyfour hours, regularly. But somehow the Car. lists BltU hold out, and there does not ap pear to be as much enthusiasm for the Boy King as there was.

On the assembling of the Brooklyn City Court thi morning all the parlies to the acanda suit were present Mr. Tilton, in answei to Mr. Shearman, said he knew Katit McDonald, aud that she was an old servant in his house., lie said he directed ber to send two or three trunks of hei things to Mrs. Tilton after she left, Kec agnized the photographs shown him bt Shearman of Ksv. Dr. Storrs, Rev. Dr Taylor, Dr. Joshua Leavitt and Horaot Greeley. Witness could not say if he had ijiven these photographs to his wife. Witness also recognized the portraits of Judgt Morse and Fred Douglae. To Beach This Ua photograph of Mr. Beecher when he was a younger man than he ia now. ' To Fullerton These portraits of Dr Storrs I did not find in the closet that 1 know of. They are fresh and clean, and mny have been bought in Fulton street yesterday for all 1 know. I told Katit McDonald that wben Mrs. Tilton wanted anything in the house that she could have it by aeuding for it. She packed the trunks that were sent to Mrs. Tilton. To Mr, Shearman I made a careful search through the houe after Mrs Tilton left, but do not remember finding these photographs then. I found a plastel cast of my dead child's face in a box ir the closet. She tent, for it, and I not only ent her that but also all the little souvenirs that were attached. Tilton then Btepped down from the witness chair, and hie counsel called GEORGE A. BELL, ' who testified as follows : I live on Columbia Heights, this city. I have lived ir Brooklyn about twentyeight years, 1 have been a member of Plymouth Church since 1S47. I wasat Mr. Halliday'sho tsi when Tilton came there for an interview I think this waa on the day of the fire ii Woodruff & Robinson's Btore. The so- called scandal was the subject of conversa tion at that interview. We all talked about it. This interview continued for overfout hours. It began by Mr. Tilton urging me to remain in the pailur. Mr. liallida) joined in the request, and I remained Mr. Tilton began tiy stating his reason I01 calling on Uitlliday. He ssid he had called there at the request of Moulton, who had been told that action would bt taken bv Plymouth Church on the scan dal, and that Moulton had thought beat that the Deacons ot i'lymouiii Ltiurcn hould not hold their meeting, lie then went on to tell of his troubles with Bow- en and the Independent. I urged him to make denial of these Btories against hi. wife and his pastor. He replied that lit could not make this denial, fur lie thought there was something in this story, an un derlying 'ruth which uiglit make it worst tor neecner. 1 esKeu, niui wnai proof there was of this. He said, "proof exists in writing above the signature 01 Beecher,, 1 asked htm to give me the proof. He said, "I cannot do so, as it is not in my possession, but I will let you mib it." He told us that the letters wen in Moulton s possession, and that tr we went in our ollicial capacity to Mr. Moulton we miirlit tee the letters. The last iwn hours of the interview were Bpent in driving Tilton to let us see those letters. lilton went at lengin into ui acquaintance with Mrs. Woodhull, which he said waa forthe i)urno8eof represstngthe scan dal which she threatened to publish. OUTFLAHJfJSg TBS DEACONS, T had an interview before this with Rp-hir earlv in the morning, when he said that he had sent for me on hearing that a meeting of deacons was about to take place that night, and he was anxious that the meeting should not take place, as he was going to Boston and desired that it be postponed. ' He asked me to see Hal-liday and have it piit over, and it was in accordance with Ins wish that I went to ITnlliilav'a house on the occasion that 1 met Tilton. I think Mr. Hawkins was nn nf the deacons at that time. Mr. Halliday waa deacon ex-olhclo. When lit inn lrt Hallidav'a I told him (Hulli day) why I came there. Halliday said Kpec.her was miaiaaen. anu limb me uta conB would not meet. I still retain my membership in Plymouth Uunreh, ana was Irequentiy a niemoer 01 me flamming committee and deacon. 1 IHE PROSECUTION BESTJ. Mr. Fullerton said this wsb all, and the defense mteht now no on. tvarts moved that all the testimony of this witness should be stricken out, with the exception nf that norlionof it relating to the inter view with Tilton. the motion wes Denied and an exception taken. Witness was crosa-examineu uy jur. rjuearnian, and replied: , I was well acauainted with the senti ment of Plymouth Church at this time. I think tho rumor about the deacons meetincr arose from erroneous ideas of a conversation among the committee on the previous Friday evening, it wo tne opinion generally of the Plymouth peo-nl after nuhlicatinn of the Woodhull scandal that no notice should be taken of it bv Beeober or the Unurca. it was tno ii! i.j:.. a.i u. n M Til. prevailing ieei"S ma. ... w,b. ton would contradict these stories, but when they did not do so, thiB feeling changed against silence to action, and it was thnnirht that theChurch and Beech- should denv the atories. None of us at that time bad the remotest shadow of thought that Beecher was guilty. I think the whole scandal ves the Btain on the Church, and not Mr. Tiltop'B presence there. At the time of tbe supposed dea con' meeting I ao not Know 01 any action that was proposed to be taken. I did not understand Beecher'a demurring to this meeting because he was opposed to any attack against tilton. f saw ieetiip very Irequentiy. Witness was asked if he was present at the consultation with Mr. and Mrs. Beecher when the conversation took place with regard to the affairs of the Tilton family. Fullerton objected and argument ensued. Judge Neilson finally ruled that the answer should not be given to this question. The question was then put in another form, and witness waa asked if at tbe close of 1870 he bt war of a difficulties occurring ia the TUtoa leasily. and u Mr. neecnar waa consulted ia the mailer, lnis waa also objected to. and waa the cause of anoth er argument. Judge Neileon decided on allowing this queelioa. Jseveral other questions of tha same nature, varying but little ia their eigaiucaace, and relating to the asms subject, were put to Mr. Hell By jtiearmaa. They were objected to by the defense and ruled out. Witness waa also asked if he had a conversation with Mr. Beecher in the latter part of 1870, with regard to Tilton'a dismissal from the Independent by Boweo oa account of some immoral atone inai were dsihecin-u-lated about him (Tilton), and whether a separation between Mr. and Mrs. Tilton as not taiked about. This was also objected to, followed by another argument, and finally ruled out by the Court. The usual reoesa waa here taken. After recess Mr. Bell resumed bis teat in the witness chair, and Mr. Shearman an nounced that be was through with the cross, eiaminstion. Witness said two or three points had come to bias during the recess, uid one of tliein was that duriug the inter view Tilton had said Beecher hd committed a offense against bis family wbirh hewould not designate. Be also aaid Mrs. Tilton wat pure, using a strong expression to convey hh nrsulng. Me also sat a msi h tne aeacon; tield a meetiug they should go to Mr. Beecher for information, and not come to him. The next witness was Unas aicniRDi. In answer to Fullerton he said : I reside it Mont Claire, New Jtrary, but lived tel. reats agj in New York. 1 am a brother ol Mrs Tilton, aud often visited at their house I always considered Tilton's home a model 1 - in every respect. 1 think this was th ond tion of the family prior to July, 1870 Mr. Tilton's conduct toward his family wat rencrctis, kind and loving. I knew Henrj n'ard Beecher when I was publisher of the Independent. 1 saw him very often, probably for eight yeara. 1 probibly met Beecher arstattln residence of Tilton, when the) ' ired in Oxford street, hut I was often at their house in Living.ton street. 1 do not tnow liow often 1 saw him there during the lay time. I saw him iu the parljr of th louse on one occasion. ' 1 went to the house it 11 o'clock and found him there w hen I jams. The witness eiplaincd to the Court that he was here from direct necessity and not bis own seeking, and that be was placed in bat might be well observed as a very cruel posiliou. Wituess continued: Oa one occasion 1 oiled in the morning at the bouse and jpencd tbe parlor door and saw Beecher in s trout room and Mrs. Tilton making a HABTV U0TIOH WITH FLUSHED FAC1 ind leaving ber position btside him, which left an Impression on my mind, 1 can't fii tbe da e of this definitely. 1 do not know il it wns ss early as 1608, but it was a numbei if years ago, probably prior to 1870. I went tithe upper patt of the house before going into the pirlor. Mr. Beecher was silting ibout opposite the front entrance beBide the loor. Mrs. Tilton was moving toward the "'innt. window. 1 did not remain long in the parlor. uiujs-eiaminea oy uraris: 1 am an au-.erti'iug agent and carry on business at 24! 3roiidvvay. When I went in the room 1 greeted Mr. Beecher and my sister, and requested him to be seated. I came into the lOHse in my usual manner, and announced lint tins was merely a can. 11 toox piacr ibout eleven o'clock in the mornine. I lefi uelbre Mr. Beecher went away, but I thiuk went up stairs Leaving m v sister in the parlor, though I may have left tbe bouse. 1 do tot remember seeing my sister again that dT.- .. .

Baker, about it during the progress ol tbe trial atiout a month ago. This ronrludeil Mr. lticuardiS testimony, and he left the stand. The name of jkremiah p. aonmsox was called. He took the stand and testified to Mr. Fullerton: I reside ia Brooklyn and know Beecher. I have known him ahoni two or three years to speak with him. I saw tieect.tr at Mr. moulton e nouse in January, 1871. when Mr. Moulton was sick. I do not remember if I saw Mr. Beecher there aftei iloultou's sickness. 1 have met Mr Moul ton und Mr. Beecher on tbe street. I thins it was last July, on Sunday, th .timet them on Montague street beside my Jbouse. I ex changed salutations wun mem, anu air. Moulton eaid be had not seen me lor some time. I said, 'No, you could nave seen me I' you wanted to. Beeih r replied. "Uont be too hard on my friend Moulton. He is as food a frieud as God ever raised up fir me, and if it had not been for him I do uot thiuk 1 would be alive." When he said this Mr Reei-lier laid his hand on Hi. Moulton's shoulder.

Thai Subsidy Buiinen Ha Will Expiili at Hi Coivaileice, eaaahlla Dear last thai He eel vest arj t'arraplljr. St. Paul, Feb. 18. A. long letter has been received from William H. King ad dressed to the Legislature in response to the resolution requesting him 10 explain his connection with the facihcMail bust neas or resin n as member elect of tbe next Congress. King denies the right of the Legislature to inquire into his private injure, to undertake to censure, or to He mand hia resignation, and denounces as a legislative lie, which epithela he puts in italics, the assumption that he had done anything wrong, tie then adds : "Coder what arrangement 1 received a large eutn of money about the time of tin passage of the Pacilio Mail subsidy bill it a matter which I do not propose to dis close to tlte world except in my own good Lime, nor until evidence which 1 am unable to reach can be accuretl, to the end that the exact facti in the case may U presented to the public, which will brine to me the fullest and most complete vin dication against the falsehoods which you have spocihed upon your respective journals. Until that time, which I trust is not far distant, I have only to sav that not one dollai of the money received by me, of which ao much lias been talked and written, was ever intended or applied to the inlluenc ing of a vote on the Pacific Mail subsidy, nd no word or line of .til the evidenct that has been taken during this long and most searching investigation ever poinU to any auch conclusion; and so, conscious of my own rectitude in this matter, and passing nere to tender mat oneJlepre--tentative who was just enough toward me to refuse his atsent to your lying declaration, mv ereatful thank, I pass on t iome other points which I propose to present to you and the public." A considerable portion of King's letter is devoted entirely and at great length to vituperation of Stale Senators Djnnel-ley and Wilkinson, charging that they are, judging by their record in Congress, no better than they should be. His letter is dated February 11, but has no post-office address attached. PARLIAMENT.

Tin Speaker requested him to withdraw, be cause for two hundred years it had been the custom for a new member to havt two introducers. John Bright and Whal- ley then offered to accompany the new member in that capacity, but on motion if Diarncli the custom was dispensed with in this ease. Ine House proceeded to consideration if the election of John Mitchell to Parliament frjm the county of Tipperary. Disraeli moved the resolve of which lit ave notice last Monday declaringMitch--Il ineligible because he ib a convicted felon. u shauglinessey, member for Limerick, moved that the debate be postponed in order to give Mitchell's friends time to consider the peculiar circumstances and determine.what course to pursue, air Kichaid Buggalley, Attorney tien-iral, confessed that he had not had enough- time to consider all the legal aspects of the case, but argued that Mitchell was liable to arrest and disqualified to bold a seat in fsrliament. Sir William Vernon Harcourt said the doubtB expressed by the Attorney General showed that delay in this matter wa desirable. A mistake would entuil the gravest consequences. Martin, an Irish member and Home Ruler, declared himself responsible foi Vlitchell's escape, hnving been consulted in regard to its legality. ine Marquis ol tlarlington though! after the admissions of the Attorney Gen eral it would be more dignified to refer the question to a select committee. Disraeli ridiculed the reference of this question to a committee. The House, he said, must decide it with promptitude, and not siiow such ignorance of its privileges as to allow a convicted felon to Bit within its halls. The motion to poplpone debate was re jected 102 yeas, 260 nays. A motion to reler the subjeot to a committee was negatived and Disraeli's resolve waa adopted without division of the House.

Chicago Tribune Special. Boston, Mass., Feb. 13. Never before within the memory of any inhabitants along tbe t ape coast, liaa Ice formed in the Bay to such an extent as at the present lime. At Provincelown the harbor is closed up entirely, and a vast field of ice till the bay between Wood hnd and tbe southern part of the Monument in Sandwich, 21 miles acroBs, and extends clear up lo Brewster and Orleans, a distance ol 30 miles from the water line. The eight is a strange one. Where always belore the eye has seen the blue waves of ocean toaa is now a plain of snow, while the ice is only broken here and there by vessels rsppetl and well-nigh hidden' in the cold embrace of the new element, nnd I'ighjngged piles of ice were thrown up bv the action of the wind and title. Th't-tcene is dreary and desolate, but it affuid 10 hint of the awful peril which threatens the lives of 150 or more fishermen as fast impiiaoned upon their vessels as if bound iritb chains behind holts aud bars. Here ire twentyeight vessels, varying in size from 500 to 200 tons, held immovable. Most 01 them are bshmg schooners ol About 100 tons burden, carrying from ten to fifteen men, and provisions lor a three ir four days' cruse, and they have already been bound in nesrly that time. Foot! ind water are laat grving out. Aid can not reach them, nor can they, in many in stances, resell it. A special dispatch to the Daily Advertiser from Provincelown, tays that the only change in the situation is for the worse, owing to the giving out f provisions. The wind blows with re lentless violence and with hourly-increas- ng coldness. All the indications are hat to-morrow will be the coldest day n the sweep of this terrible wave of frost. Should the grip of ice hold on, the nen on many of the schooners will be taken off only for burial. To-morrow, il the cold continues, all will probably take the risk of saving their lives by a five or ten rune wait over ice-nutuuiocks and air-doles. Ice-cukes piled up on one another to tbe height of many feet, with here and there wide open stretches of blue sea m- ervenmg, lorbid any attempt to help ;.hem from the shore. Beyond question here are tenor twelveschoonerson which .here is no coal, no water, and perhaps not twentyfour hours' food. Sons of the men in the ice-locked Bchooners succeeded to-lay in reaching the shore. A few returned with what provisions they could carry 0 succor the forlorn hope. The passage iccupied hours, and was attended with imminent peril. Several limes did one or :he other fall into the icy deep and was rescued by his companions. The ruajori-y departed for their homes, leaving their vessels to their fate. The Gallatin arrived to-day, but can do nothing. To-morrow Oaptain Snow will try to reach the southernmost schooner with dories, and carry provisions and water, but the chances are that the effort will be in vain.

At the lime of its adjournment yesterday the Senate had been in continuous session nearly twentynine hours. After & protracted debate, lasting all Wednesday night and until four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Senate tabled the resolution to seat P. B. S. Pincliback at Senator from Louisiana by a vote of 39 to 2i The House of Commons yesterday adopted a resolution moved by Disraeli declaring John Mitchell a convicted felon, and therefore not entitled to a seat in Parliament. A new election in the county of Tipperary was ordered. Bill Kino has materialised to a certain extent. lie has transmitted a message to .the Minnesota Legislature declaring that that honorable body has lied, and telling it to mind its own business, but whether this missive comes from Canada or the apirit world has not transpired. The extortionate local freight tariffs charged by the Union Pacific railway from Salt Lake eastward has caused ship pers at that point to send their freight to San Francisco to be there reshipped at competing through rates for New Yoik and Boston. There seems to be a loud call for a rival line of railway to the Pacific eoast. Tilton stepped down and out yester day. The next witness called was George A. Bell, and following him Joseph Bich ards, a brother of Mrs. Tilton, whose testimony was to the effect that having, on a certain occasion, unexpectedly called at the Tilton mansion he surprised his sister in Beecher's company in the parlor, and that Mrs. Tilton betrayed ber embarrassment by a flushed face and hasty mo tion. With this exception the testimony of the new witness was rather trivial and unimportant. The Madrid Government, like Peck' sniff's horse, is always going through the motions of doing something but never doing it, We now hear that it is about to send extensive reinforcements to Cuba, which is not new. The same thing was slatted some time ago, unci then, probably, as now, for effect on this side of the At lantic. The same sort of reports are con tinually made in regard to operations against the Carlists, who, if the cable die. patches may be believed, are crushed or about to be crushed every twentyfour hours, regularly. But somehow the Car. lists BltU hold out, and there does not ap pear to be as much enthusiasm for the Boy King as there was.

On the assembling of the Brooklyn City Court thi morning all the parlies to the acanda suit were present Mr. Tilton, in answei to Mr. Shearman, said he knew Katit McDonald, aud that she was an old servant in his house., lie said he directed ber to send two or three trunks of hei things to Mrs. Tilton after she left, Kec agnized the photographs shown him bt Shearman of Ksv. Dr. Storrs, Rev. Dr Taylor, Dr. Joshua Leavitt and Horaot Greeley. Witness could not say if he had ijiven these photographs to his wife. Witness also recognized the portraits of Judgt Morse and Fred Douglae. To Beach This Ua photograph of Mr. Beecher when he was a younger man than he ia now. ' To Fullerton These portraits of Dr Storrs I did not find in the closet that 1 know of. They are fresh and clean, and mny have been bought in Fulton street yesterday for all 1 know. I told Katit McDonald that wben Mrs. Tilton wanted anything in the house that she could have it by aeuding for it. She packed the trunks that were sent to Mrs. Tilton. To Mr, Shearman I made a careful search through the houe after Mrs Tilton left, but do not remember finding these photographs then. I found a plastel cast of my dead child's face in a box ir the closet. She tent, for it, and I not only ent her that but also all the little souvenirs that were attached. Tilton then Btepped down from the witness chair, and hie counsel called GEORGE A. BELL, ' who testified as follows : I live on Columbia Heights, this city. I have lived ir Brooklyn about twentyeight years, 1 have been a member of Plymouth Church since 1S47. I wasat Mr. Halliday'sho tsi when Tilton came there for an interview I think this waa on the day of the fire ii Woodruff & Robinson's Btore. The so- called scandal was the subject of conversa tion at that interview. We all talked about it. This interview continued for overfout hours. It began by Mr. Tilton urging me to remain in the pailur. Mr. liallida) joined in the request, and I remained Mr. Tilton began tiy stating his reason I01 calling on Uitlliday. He ssid he had called there at the request of Moulton, who had been told that action would bt taken bv Plymouth Church on the scan dal, and that Moulton had thought beat that the Deacons ot i'lymouiii Ltiurcn hould not hold their meeting, lie then went on to tell of his troubles with Bow- en and the Independent. I urged him to make denial of these Btories against hi. wife and his pastor. He replied that lit could not make this denial, fur lie thought there was something in this story, an un derlying 'ruth which uiglit make it worst tor neecner. 1 esKeu, niui wnai proof there was of this. He said, "proof exists in writing above the signature 01 Beecher,, 1 asked htm to give me the proof. He said, "I cannot do so, as it is not in my possession, but I will let you mib it." He told us that the letters wen in Moulton s possession, and that tr we went in our ollicial capacity to Mr. Moulton we miirlit tee the letters. The last iwn hours of the interview were Bpent in driving Tilton to let us see those letters. lilton went at lengin into ui acquaintance with Mrs. Woodhull, which he said waa forthe i)urno8eof represstngthe scan dal which she threatened to publish. OUTFLAHJfJSg TBS DEACONS, T had an interview before this with Rp-hir earlv in the morning, when he said that he had sent for me on hearing that a meeting of deacons was about to take place that night, and he was anxious that the meeting should not take place, as he was going to Boston and desired that it be postponed. ' He asked me to see Hal-liday and have it piit over, and it was in accordance with Ins wish that I went to ITnlliilav'a house on the occasion that 1 met Tilton. I think Mr. Hawkins was nn nf the deacons at that time. Mr. Halliday waa deacon ex-olhclo. When lit inn lrt Hallidav'a I told him (Hulli day) why I came there. Halliday said Kpec.her was miaiaaen. anu limb me uta conB would not meet. I still retain my membership in Plymouth Uunreh, ana was Irequentiy a niemoer 01 me flamming committee and deacon. 1 IHE PROSECUTION BESTJ. Mr. Fullerton said this wsb all, and the defense mteht now no on. tvarts moved that all the testimony of this witness should be stricken out, with the exception nf that norlionof it relating to the inter view with Tilton. the motion wes Denied and an exception taken. Witness was crosa-examineu uy jur. rjuearnian, and replied: , I was well acauainted with the senti ment of Plymouth Church at this time. I think tho rumor about the deacons meetincr arose from erroneous ideas of a conversation among the committee on the previous Friday evening, it wo tne opinion generally of the Plymouth peo-nl after nuhlicatinn of the Woodhull scandal that no notice should be taken of it bv Beeober or the Unurca. it was tno ii! i.j:.. a.i u. n M Til. prevailing ieei"S ma. ... w,b. ton would contradict these stories, but when they did not do so, thiB feeling changed against silence to action, and it was thnnirht that theChurch and Beech- should denv the atories. None of us at that time bad the remotest shadow of thought that Beecher was guilty. I think the whole scandal ves the Btain on the Church, and not Mr. Tiltop'B presence there. At the time of tbe supposed dea con' meeting I ao not Know 01 any action that was proposed to be taken. I did not understand Beecher'a demurring to this meeting because he was opposed to any attack against tilton. f saw ieetiip very Irequentiy. Witness was asked if he was present at the consultation with Mr. and Mrs. Beecher when the conversation took place with regard to the affairs of the Tilton family. Fullerton objected and argument ensued. Judge Neilson finally ruled that the answer should not be given to this question. The question was then put in another form, and witness waa asked if at tbe close of 1870 he bt war of a difficulties occurring ia the TUtoa leasily. and u Mr. neecnar waa consulted ia the mailer, lnis waa also objected to. and waa the cause of anoth er argument. Judge Neileon decided on allowing this queelioa. Jseveral other questions of tha same nature, varying but little ia their eigaiucaace, and relating to the asms subject, were put to Mr. Hell By jtiearmaa. They were objected to by the defense and ruled out. Witness waa also asked if he had a conversation with Mr. Beecher in the latter part of 1870, with regard to Tilton'a dismissal from the Independent by Boweo oa account of some immoral atone inai were dsihecin-u-lated about him (Tilton), and whether a separation between Mr. and Mrs. Tilton as not taiked about. This was also objected to, followed by another argument, and finally ruled out by the Court. The usual reoesa waa here taken. After recess Mr. Bell resumed bis teat in the witness chair, and Mr. Shearman an nounced that be was through with the cross, eiaminstion. Witness said two or three points had come to bias during the recess, uid one of tliein was that duriug the inter view Tilton had said Beecher hd committed a offense against bis family wbirh hewould not designate. Be also aaid Mrs. Tilton wat pure, using a strong expression to convey hh nrsulng. Me also sat a msi h tne aeacon; tield a meetiug they should go to Mr. Beecher for information, and not come to him. The next witness was Unas aicniRDi. In answer to Fullerton he said : I reside it Mont Claire, New Jtrary, but lived tel. reats agj in New York. 1 am a brother ol Mrs Tilton, aud often visited at their house I always considered Tilton's home a model 1 - in every respect. 1 think this was th ond tion of the family prior to July, 1870 Mr. Tilton's conduct toward his family wat rencrctis, kind and loving.

Wituess continued: Oa one occasion 1 oiled in the morning at the bouse and jpencd tbe parlor door and saw Beecher in s trout room and Mrs. Tilton making a HABTV U0TIOH WITH FLUSHED FAC1 ind leaving ber position btside him, which left an Impression on my mind, 1 can't fii tbe da e of this definitely. 1 do not know il it wns ss early as 1608, but it was a numbei if years ago, probably prior to 1870.

He took the stand and testified to Mr. Fullerton: I reside ia Brooklyn and know Beecher. I have known him ahoni two or three years to speak with him. I saw tieect.tr at Mr. moulton e nouse in January, 1871. when Mr. Moulton was sick. I do not remember if I saw Mr. Beecher there aftei iloultou's sickness. 1 have met Mr Moul ton und Mr. Beecher on tbe street.

King ad dressed to the Legislature in response to the resolution requesting him 10 explain his connection with the facihcMail bust neas or resin n as member elect of tbe next Congress. King denies the right of the Legislature to inquire into his private injure, to undertake to censure, or to He mand hia resignation, and denounces as a legislative lie, which epithela he puts in italics, the assumption that he had done anything wrong, tie then adds : "Coder what arrangement 1 received a large eutn of money about the time of tin passage of the Pacilio Mail subsidy bill it a matter which I do not propose to dis close to tlte world except in my own good Lime, nor until evidence which 1 am unable to reach can be accuretl, to the end that the exact facti in the case may U presented to the public, which will brine to me the fullest and most complete vin dication against the falsehoods which you have spocihed upon your respective journals. Until that time, which I trust is not far distant, I have only to sav that not one dollai of the money received by me, of which ao much lias been talked and written, was ever intended or applied to the inlluenc ing of a vote on the Pacific Mail subsidy, nd no word or line of .til the evidenct that has been taken during this long and most searching investigation ever poinU to any auch conclusion; and so, conscious of my own rectitude in this matter, and passing nere to tender mat oneJlepre--tentative who was just enough toward me to refuse his atsent to your lying declaration, mv ereatful thank, I pass on t iome other points which I propose to present to you and the public." A considerable portion of King's letter is devoted entirely and at great length to vituperation of Stale Senators Djnnel-ley and Wilkinson, charging that they are, judging by their record in Congress, no better than they should be. His letter is dated February 11, but has no post-office address attached. PARLIAMENT.

The motion to poplpone debate was re jected 102 yeas, 260 nays. A motion to reler the subjeot to a committee was negatived and Disraeli's resolve waa adopted without division of the House.

Chicago Tribune Special. Boston, Mass., Feb. 13. Never before within the memory of any inhabitants along tbe t ape coast, liaa Ice formed in the Bay to such an extent as at the present lime. At Provincelown the harbor is closed up entirely, and a vast field of ice till the bay between Wood hnd and tbe southern part of the Monument in Sandwich, 21 miles acroBs, and extends clear up lo Brewster and Orleans, a distance ol 30 miles from the water line. The eight is a strange one. Where always belore the eye has seen the blue waves of ocean toaa is now a plain of snow, while the ice is only broken here and there by vessels rsppetl and well-nigh hidden' in the cold embrace of the new element, nnd I'ighjngged piles of ice were thrown up bv the action of the wind and title. Th't-tcene is dreary and desolate, but it affuid 10 hint of the awful peril which threatens the lives of 150 or more fishermen as fast impiiaoned upon their vessels as if bound iritb chains behind holts aud bars. Here ire twentyeight vessels, varying in size from 500 to 200 tons, held immovable. Most 01 them are bshmg schooners ol About 100 tons burden, carrying from ten to fifteen men, and provisions lor a three ir four days' cruse, and they have already been bound in nesrly that time. Foot! ind water are laat grving out. Aid can not reach them, nor can they, in many in stances, resell it. A special dispatch to the Daily Advertiser from Provincelown, tays that the only change in the situation is for the worse, owing to the giving out f provisions. The wind blows with re lentless violence and with hourly-increas- ng coldness. All the indications are hat to-morrow will be the coldest day n the sweep of this terrible wave of frost. Should the grip of ice hold on, the nen on many of the schooners will be taken off only for burial. To-morrow, il the cold continues, all will probably take the risk of saving their lives by a five or ten rune wait over ice-nutuuiocks and air-doles. Ice-cukes piled up on one another to tbe height of many feet, with here and there wide open stretches of blue sea m- ervenmg, lorbid any attempt to help ;.hem from the shore. Beyond question here are tenor twelveschoonerson which .here is no coal, no water, and perhaps not twentyfour hours' food. Sons of the men in the ice-locked Bchooners succeeded to-lay in reaching the shore. A few returned with what provisions they could carry 0 succor the forlorn hope. The passage iccupied hours, and was attended with imminent peril. Several limes did one or :he other fall into the icy deep and was rescued by his companions. The ruajori-y departed for their homes, leaving their vessels to their fate. The Gallatin arrived to-day, but can do nothing. To-morrow Oaptain Snow will try to reach the southernmost schooner with dories, and carry provisions and water, but the chances are that the effort will be in vain.

Joseph Herald, we noticed that one hundred and fortv two gentlemen arose between the first and second acts at the Opera House, and went out, leaving nieir ladies to amuse them selves as best they could. As the curtain rolled up they came back, sat down com. nosedly and comfortably, chewintr a few grains of allspice, whispered a word aside to the young ladies they were acconiDanv- ing, and went on with the enjoyment of the drama. Now let us philosophise. What could bare caused this exodus? Had tbe young ladies become tireaoaM T Did the young gentlemen want a brief rest? Is it the style? Waa there a ire alarm false, oi course? Or could il have been that they Celt Ibe need of a little allspice (or something else) for tbe stomach's aake ? We can't understand it, and if it ia not too inquisitive, won't some of tbe one hundred and fortvtwo please explain, or shall we ask the Bearcat dealer in allspice? DIED. Wxanoa Thursd.v.
